Gravel calculator — cubic yards, m³ and tons

Enter length and width in feet and depth in inches. Weight uses the density you enter; 1.4 tons per cubic yard is a common planning figure for crushed stone, but your supplier's figure is better.

Formula

yd³ = L(ft) × W(ft) × depth(in) ÷ 12 ÷ 27 · tons = yd³ × density · 1 ft³ = 0.0283168 m³

Density varies by stone type, size and moisture. Compaction can require ordering more than the loose volume.

Worked examples

Input	Result
20 × 10 ft at 4 in	66.67 ft³ = 2.47 yd³ ≈ 3.46 tons at 1.4
50 × 12 ft driveway at 6 in	300 ft³ = 11.11 yd³ ≈ 15.56 tons

Area covered by 1 cubic yard

Depth	Coverage
2 in	162 ft²
3 in	108 ft²
4 in	81 ft²
6 in	54 ft²
8 in	40.5 ft²
12 in	27 ft²

Questions

How do I calculate gravel in cubic yards?

Multiply length × width in feet by depth in feet (inches ÷ 12), then divide by 27.

How much does a cubic yard of gravel weigh?

Often around 1.4 US tons for crushed stone, but it ranges with material and moisture. Ask your supplier.
